In between the moments where I am blissfully applying my makeup in the morning (yes, blissfully...it's like art to me!) and the time I hop in my car to unwind from a long workday, something happens. I can't explain it really. I leave the house feeling ready to face the day with a faceful (tastefully applied, mind you) of makeup and I return looking like Grendel's mother, makeup disintegrated, smudged, non-existent. Maybe it's because I jokingly refer to myself as a "Greasy Italian," but it all starts with the canvas. My foundation fails and the rest of my makeup is doomed. So I started experimenting with face primers until I found the diamond in the rough.
Enter, Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer.
I don't know what it it is about this wonderstuff, but I can't get enough of it. With long-lasting coverage, this stuff not only tells my foundation who's boss, it also makes my skin feel super silky--not slick! And with its heavenly formula, a little goes a long way. And I even gave it a whirl over the weekend, wearing it alone and my skin still looked as precious as it did when I was younger.
So now, I apply my makeup in the morning and 8+ hours later, my foundation, she's a-staying!
If you're looking for a fantastic primer--and really, we all should be--I highly recommended this one from Too Face!
